1:15 Landlords under the pump to insulate homes by July 1

Landlords have until July 1 to make sure their properties are properly insulated, under pain of a $4,000 fine - something they've known about since 2016.

But many haven't done so, and now insulators are saying there's no way they'll be able to get to all the houses they need to by that date.

Andrew King is the executive officer for the Property Investors' Federation and joins us to talk about the issue, and whether he has any sympathy for those who might soon be stung in the pocket.

1:25 Death: a podcast about love, grief and hope

Eight years ago, long-time journalist and Newshub Managing Editor Mark Longley went through the worst thing that can happen to a parent: his daughter Emily was murdered, aged just 17.

Now, he's written and presented a new podcast examining death: how we talk about it. How we mourn. how we cope. And why people find it so hard to talk about it.

He joins us to talk about the process of making the podcast, and what he learned from his experience.

3:15 Your Money with Mary Holm: Five KiwiSaver Developments​

Financial journalist and author Mary Holm talks about how KiwiSaver has reached two milestones.

She also urges members to make sure - in the next few days - that they will get the maximum government contribution this year, and suggests people aged 60 to 64 sign up before July 1 to get a better deal from the scheme.

Mary next turns to KiwiSaver statements - how they are now giving members more information, and how next year's statements will be better still.  

She also suggests members use an online KiwiSaver health checker to see if they are in the right fund for them, paying the correct tax and so on.
 
Finally, Mary says that the Commission for Financial Capability is reviewing how KiwiSaver could be improved. She asks listeners to email their suggestions to mary@maryholm.com, with the subject "KiwiSaver changes" before Sunday June 23.  Mary will forward the best ideas to the Commission.
